Same error here while trying to add some wifi mi plug (they are working correctly with the Mi app)

Same here; Vacuum and Philips ceiling not working

This looks like an issue with construct or python-miio. After downgrading construct to v2.8.21, functionality returned. Mirobo crashes too so I don’t think this is a HomeAssistant issue.

hmm…i also have the same error

I downgraded construct by running this:
pip3 install construct==2.8.21

This code change will (hot)fix the issue:

Confirmed working but another error pops out

Did your setup work in the past? What’s the name of the device you are trying to control?

10

yes it worked… the deveice is mi wifi power strip

11

Are you able to ping the device/ip?

12

yes the device is working again after i did the swap in protocol.py

13

For me both methods resulted in the errors darks0ul posted.
So, same behaviour if I downgrade Construct to 2.8.21 and if I change the order of the arguments in protocol.py when using construct==2.8.22.
Edit: python_miio==0.3.0

14

As soon as I change the file and restart hass… It installs miio and I have to change it again …why?

15

This is normal. You could try to use the development version of homeassistant. The issue is fixed there.

16

let me check this right now :slight_smile:

17

Yeah. Robo back to life 10000 thanks

18

anyone know if this is fixed in 0.62.1?

19

Same problem in Hass.io 0.62.0

20

according to release notes, nothing concerning xiaomi has been fixed. But how mentioned above. this should have been fixed in latest hass release 0.62.0 alredy… for me it works… which setup / install method areu using?

21

i have the exact same problem. i upgrade to the 0.62 version of hass.io but the problem is not solved. any ideas?
